Animal Facts you didn't know about
Female Mice Avoid Mates That Remind Them of Their Dads In the mouse world, courtship involves ultrasonic songs (a squeak that’s inaudible to humans) sent from aroused males to females. But a recent study found that a female mouse—if she grew up familiar with her father’s own serenades—naturally avoids copulating with a male who sounds just like Daddy. So, at least for female mice, Freud’s Oedipus complex doesn’t hold water. Sorry, Sigmund. (Photo: Tristan Martin/Getty Images) Otters Hold…

When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the United States after being absent nearly 70 years, the most remarkable "trophic cascade" occurred. What is a trophic cascade and how exactly do wolves change rivers? George Monbiot explains in this movie remix.

Whales Rescue Diver in China
http://youtu.be/xjXPS57f7wY
Uploaded on 31 Jul 2009
Two beluga whales saved the life of a diver at an aquarium in northeast China on Tuesday.
Diver Yang Yun was taking part in a free-diving competition to apply for a whale training job at Polar Land Aquarium in the city of Harbin.
But when she was 15 feet down in the icy water, her right leg cramped up.
These two beluga whales, a couple named Nicola and Mila who were swimming in the aquarium with Yang, sensed her distress.
They moved towards her and helped her to the surface.
Yang was one of seven final candidates competing for the job and had been required to dive as deep as possible without any breathing equipment.

LISTEN: NOC, the Whale Who Could Mimic Humans

For the first time, researchers have shown that a whale can mimic human speech, with a kazoo-like, slightly unhinged call that you can listen to above.
The special whale in question, NOC, was a beluga who lived at the National Marine Mammal Foundation in California. In 1984, workers noticed bizarre, human-like sounds coming from an enclosure. Eventually, they traced them back to the NOC when a startled man working in his tank leapt out and asked, "Who told me to get out?"
NOC did, researchers concluded. Acoustic analysis later showed sounds much different than the ones whales typically make, with low frequencies closer to human speech. NOC apparently used elaborate nasal and muscle movements to mimic his captors.
Dolphins have previously been shown to have a similar ability, but NOC, who died five years ago, is the first whale. Though given their reputation as "canaries of the sea" and their fondness for Mariachi bands, perhaps it isn't surprising that a beluga would also one day try to speak.
First documented video evidence of apes swimming is released
By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo! News | The Sideshow – Thu, Aug 15, 2013
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/video/first-video-evidence-shows-apes-1534...
Because of their history of traveling through the trees, researchers say that apes do not have the instinct to swim in the water. But a series of new videos show that what they lack in instinct, the primates more than make up for in learned ability.
Researchers in South Africa and Switzerland documented the swimming efforts of a chimpanzee named Cooper, who not only swims but dives into the deep end of a swimming pool and swims 6.6 feet to the bottom.
“We were extremely surprised when the chimp Cooper dived repeatedly into a swimming pool in Missouri and seemed to feel very comfortable," said School of Anatomical Sciences at Wits University researcher Renato Bender.
“This issue is becoming more and more the focus of research. There is still much to explore,” Bender said.
Even more interesting, the researchers discovered that Cooper employs a breaststroke style, as opposed to the dog paddle technique used by other mammals who are not accustomed to maneuvering in the water.
A second video was filmed at a private zoo in South Carolina, where an orangutan named Suryia can be seen using its long arms and legs to paddle across a pool.
Nicole Bender, a researcher with the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine at the University of Bern, said that like humans, the apes in the videos actually learned to use the breaststroke, moving beyond their evolutionary instinct to simply dog paddle.
“We did find other well-documented cases of swimming and diving apes, but Cooper and Suryia are the only ones we were able to film,” she said. “We still do not know when the ancestors of humans began to swim and dive regularly.”
A largely unaccepted theory known as the aquatic ape hypothesis, posits that early prehumans actually evolved from an existence where they mixed their time spent in and out of water.

What Bears Do When No One’s Looking (Video)
http://youtu.be/AihvuZiDhsg
Published on 25 Jul 2013
Ever wonder what bears do when we're not looking?
These images were captured with a remote wildlife camera as various species visited a "communications" or "rub" tree in Kananaskis Country, leaving a scent as a form of communication to other bears and animals.
The image data is being collected as part of a collaborative study looking at multi-species habitat use within our mountainous landscape. In addition to various wildlife species, millions of people visit Kananaskis Country each year.
Alberta Parks dedicates significant efforts to maintaining a positive coexistence of wildlife and park visitors through tools such as our bear shepherding program, wildlife proof garbage bins and superior visitor education.

Dolphin Leaps Out Of River In Rare Sighting
Sky News
A dolphin has been photographed leaping out of the water 20 miles from the sea in the River Dee in North Wales.
The stunning picture was taken by a member of the Environment Agency's flood defence maintenance team and the mammal is now being monitored by the charity British Divers Marine Life Rescue and the coastguard.
The dolphin, nicknamed Dave, was originally spotted by members of the public at Connah's Quay docks but then swam up river to Saltney, near Chester.
The coastguard said the dolphin was happily swimming up and down and doesn't seem to be in a rush to go back out to sea.
But they have said they are worried about the size of crowds gathering on the banks of the river and are warning people that harassing a dolphin is a criminal offence.
They said they are aware of reports of someone trying to go into the water earlier to swim with the dolphin.
An Environment Agency spokesman told Sky News the sighting was extremely rare but that it was a good sign of the water quality in the area.
He said the mammal probably started swimming up the river at high tide to chase and feed on fish.
